I will not go near one now. I have been on birth -controlpills for 5+ years. It's seems in recent years-I'm more sensitive to the sun. It seems even when I use sunscreen in reg.sun I get a new spot. Any Idea as to what could be causing this?

Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birthcontrolpillsand antidepressants.
Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.
Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes.

I should be well adjusted to the new birthcontrolpills since they were changed in January. I do have a history of iron deficiency and wonder if it's all maybe caused by a mineral &/or vitamin deficiency in my body. What did you do & has the symptoms completely disappeared??
Anyone with any input, please respond.

They are brownish red and are all over my back and shoulders + upper arm + legs and thighs + only a few on my abdomen (although they've been decreasing since I started taking birthcontrolpills. I know my father has those same spots on his back and shoulders and so does my sister (on her back and legs). My sister's skin is darker than mine is and therefore they are less visible with her.

They don't itch or burn or anything, this is why I am confused? I did start taking birthcontrolpills about 9 days ago, maybe that has something to do with it? I don't know. I do have a skin condition on my chest area that flares up in the summer (tinea versicolor) but this doesnt look the same. Any suggestions on what this could be?

I am on the Depo-Provera shot for birthcontroland read that Depo-Ralovera (a very similar shot) can cause greasy hair. (http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/symptoms/greasy_hair/side-effects.htm) I wonder if I could have received the wrong shot when I was in about 2 weeks ago, the names are so similar.
At first I thought I didn't rinse the shampoo or conditioner out of my hair well enough.

Anyway, my birth control at the time would cause me to continously get the itchy uncomfortable feeling of a yeast infection right before my period, typical of birthcontrolpills. Much against my better judgment he would want to have sex unprotected and I was always scared of a posibility of giving him some sort of a yeast infection for some reason though it started getting worse each time, infact I didn't completely stop getting them until after we stopped having sex.

Antibiotics, steroids, birthcontrolpills, and foods high in sugars or starches (breads, pastas, and alcohol) all promote the growth of Candida
Douching reduces levels of "good" bacteria in the vagina and is not recommended
Alcohol and nicotine (present in tobacco products) promote the growth of yeast
Because yeast grows best in moist areas, wearing looser-fitting pants or underwear can help prevent yeast infections.

The cuts hurt more and get bigger and more noticable right before my period, so hormones may also play a role (I have taken birthcontrolpills for 6+ years). Recently I got allergy testing done and found out I am allergic to yeast (candida albicans) so the doctor gave me a bunch of guidelines for avoiding foods and drinks with yeast. My next step is to try to cut out sugar, which makes yeast grow. Also I am trying to reduce my alcohol intake... Wine and beer have yeast!

they did a biopsy shortly after i did this post, and nothing specific came back. i've had it treated w/ medication (pillsand topical) and also laser and it'll seem to look a little better for a few days but then i'm almost to square 1. it just will not seem to heal. just today they decided to do a second biopsy, because they also find it odd and worrisome. they did diagnose me with rosacea b/c in general i am very pink with capillaries close to the skin.

I can't believe that this hasn't been diagnosed yet.
I recently changed my birthcontrol pill (2 months ago) to Microgestin. I am also taking an anti-fungal oral pill (for about 2 months as well) because my toenail fell off and I didn't want to get a fungus. Its called Terbinafine. I also take a Kirkland brand multi-vitamin each day. As far as my diet, well, I started eating a high-protein, lots of fruits & veggies diet about a month ago, but about 2 weeks ago, fell off the wagon.

Ive got the itching and the wet clear fluid, but mine ends up sticky with a nasty odour..And my left ear has clogged shut..but i am in extreme pain now because i hav swelling around my left jaw..and yes it is really hard o stop the itching..
But unlike u i cant take tablets..

It is always so much worse at night, always on the right side and i'm always less able to control the scratching when i've been out drinking (does anyone get that?!). i get the dry, flakey skin and the rawness from scratching. i'm sure it's worse when i'm stressed and definately when it's hot at night. I've not been to my doctor due to embarrasment which i know is ridiculous but reading the stories has made me realise i've just been stupid in that respect.

it started while i was having sex with a boy outside next to the train tracks and has never stoppedsince. i went to the doctor sid scabies/yeast infection and he gave me steriods 4 pills a day for 5 days which started to take it away but came back after a week. it started out with the feeling of bugs crawling on me then i got these kind of sore bumps in my armpits only and it also felt like my throat glands were bigger as well as my armpit glands.

So like I said it could be that I have too much acid in my system or it could be some hormonal imbalance. Whatever it may be I hope to try and figure it out and get it under control. I am 41 almost 42 years old and look at myself and look like I am 50 something.My eyes are soooooo sore from rubbing the heck out of them, that I too can't look people in the eyes. I keep my glasses on to try and hide my eyes, wearing make-up makes my eyes look worse.
